Personal Statement

I have been playing competitive golf since 2013. I started out at age 11 playing 9 hole city tournaments with my dad as a caddie. Later that summer, I went on to play 18 hole state tournaments. From there, I have moved on to playing in 36 hole regional tournaments and invitationals. In 2016, I made the Golfweek All-Midwest team for the first time.

My school golf career began in 6th grade when I made my middle school team. I started every match that year and I went to play as number one in my 7th and 8th grade year. I am happy to say that I am a part of Center Grove High School's golf team as we are ranked number one in the State of Indiana. We have 8 players ranked on junior golf scoreboard! We won the IHSAA state championship in 2017.

Before I started to play golf I played soccer, basketball, and baseball. I was a starting pitcher in baseball but I just enjoyed golf a lot more. At the age of 13, I gave up baseball to focus on my golf game.

One thing people do not know about me is that I am left handed, but I golf right handed. I think being left hand dominant helps me swing the club better from that side of the ball. I want to go to college to get my degree in either Economics, Accounting, Finance or a MBA, but I am undecided on which major to pursue at this time.

Not my best tournament off the tee.. Saturday was 42-39-81 and Sunday was 39-38-77. Also, the high temperature both days was 39 degrees. I probably should have spent some time that week practicing swinging with heavier clothes on.
